| Suppose:
| |
| | |
| * ''X''<sub>1</sub>, ..., ''X''<sub>''n''</sub> are [[statistical independence|independent]] [[random variable]]s, each with a [[Bernoulli distribution]] (i.e., equal to either 0 or 1), not necessarily identically distributed.
| |
| | |
| * Pr(''X''<sub>''i''</sub> = 1) = ''p''<sub>''i''</sub> for ''i'' = 1, 2, 3, ...
| |
| | |
| * <math>\lambda_n = p_1 + \cdots + p_n.\,</math>
| |
| | |
| * <math>S_n = X_1 + \cdots + X_n.\,</math> (i.e. <math>S_n</math> follows a [[Poisson binomial distribution]])
| |
| | |
| Then
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left| \Pr(S_n=k) - {\lambda_n^k e^{-\lambda_n} \over k!} \right| < 2 \sum_{i=1}^n p_i^2. </math>
| |
| | |
| In other words, the sum has approximately a [[Poisson distribution]].
| |
| | |
| By setting ''p''<sub>''i''</sub> = λ<sub>''n''</sub>/''n'', we see that this generalizes the usual [[Poisson limit theorem]].

I would like to introduce myself to you, I am Jayson Simcox but I don't like when people use my complete name. To climb is something I truly enjoy doing. My wife and I reside in Kentucky. He works as a bookkeeper.
